Had a meeting in Blackburn on Friday, so of course I took the bike rather than the car

. Through the Peaks and onto the Snake at Ladybower. Do any of you use this road, because I reckon the state of the surface is a lethal disgrace. I hit a load of patches and potholes on a rising right hander which gave the bars a serious slapping - and that's with a steering damper. Came VERY close to ending up in the adjacent field (via stone wall).
On the way back rode it VERY circumspectly and had a damn good look at how shite the road is. Most of the way there's signs telling us how many bikers have crashed on the route. Maybe if they spent a little more on decent tarmac there'd be a few less victims.
End of rant.
